April 24, 2023 – Dublin Scioto High School: Perhaps a bit tired from the Home Run Derby on Sunday or the unexpected cold weather that had everyone pulling sweatshirts out of winter storage, the Irish snagged the lead late in the game to defeat Canal Winchester 2-1 on Monday.
The game was tied at one with Scioto batting in the bottom of the sixth when Faith Kinzer singled on a 2-1 count, scoring one run.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Dublin tied things up at one when Henry’s sac fly scored one run for the Irish.
